The 13 tiger range countries, including China, Russia and India, have reached a consensus on transboundary conservation and combating the illegal wildlife trade.

The Kunming Consensus, concluded on Wednesday, provides guidelines to the international community for working on transboundary management of conservation areas, combating illegal trading and eliminating illicit demand for wildlife products.

The consensus recommends establishing procedures for sharing up-to-date information on illegal activities. It also recommends conducting research to develop procedures to ensure the long-term effectiveness of transboundary landscape management.
